I need to have URLs fitting this criteria:
www.domain.com/abc
rewritten to be:
www.domain.com/index.php?name=abc
I can do it where the last letter(s) are fixed like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).htm$ index.php?name=$1
which means www.domain.com/abc.htm would go to www.domain.com/index.php?name=abc
but I need it to not have the .htm (or anything after the abc)
Can this be done? I've spent some time trying to find the solution but so far without success.
Thanks in anticipation.

Try this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php?name=$1 [L]
I usually use RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?name=$1
I am not completely sure on your criteria though, this will send everything to the PHP script.
If you only want to rewrite the first part of a path ie. /abc but not abc/def or abc/ I can change it for you.

I just want a simple redirect to clean up the url's on a site.
e.g.
I want ajhtestserver.com/registration/ to redirect to ajhtestserver.com/registration.php
It should be easy and I have successfully used .htaccess rewrites on other sites but for some reason it just will not work for me today.
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^registration[/]$ registration.php [NC,L] # Handle requests for "registration"
I am sure it is something simple that I am missing but I basically just copied what I have on other sites that work fine for me so I am confused as to why it just refuses to work for me here (gives me The requested URL /ajhtestserver/registration/ was not found on this server. error). Just one of those days :(
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
if you use apache ,first you should enable rewrite_mode in http.conf or ...\
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^registration/(.*)$ registration.php/$1 [L]
check .htaccess syntax or rewrite mode.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)[/]$ $1.php [L]
Well it didn't seem to like it when the redirect source word and target filename were the same word but this works...
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\ ]+)[/]?$ $1.php [NC,L]
And that is actually a better solution anyway as it doesn't require a separate rule for each page.
Though I never did figure out why it didn't like it the original way.
I am working on urls of a site. I want to convert the following url into
http://dev.steelogic.com/solution.php?id=metalbuildingproduct
this url
http://dev.steelogic.com/solution/metalbuildingproduct
this is the htaccess code I am using.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)$ $1.php?id=$2
I don't know anything about htaccess. usually I just copy paste the text and it works.
the url with ?id= works fine
but when try to use the 2nd url it doesn't have any id.
I have to do this to many other pages as well and the all contain [.php?id=] which I want to replace with [/] slash
Try this rule in your DocumentRoot/.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /$1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA]
Please try this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^solution/([^/.]+)/?$ solution.php?id=$1 [PT,L,NC,QSA]
</IfModule>
Because you say that even without this rule, going to http://example.com/solution/asdf loads /solution.php on your server, something else must be working on your url. Because you say you didn't define such a rule, it must be coming from somewhere else. Either a rule is defined somewhere else (main config file) or MultiViews is enabled. If you can't apply anubhava's solution (disabling MultiViews), move your file somewhere else, for example under /public/solution.php, so that url never partly matches an existing file, then use the following rule.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public/$1.php -f #partly copied from anubhava's answer
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /public/$1.php?id=$2 [L]
from all of the discussion I concluded that its difficult enough to do it with .htaccess as there might b some sort of module working on the urls of site from the hosting and I get both solution and solution.php directed to same page
so I did it in php for now.
as both of the following pages
http://dev.steelogic.com/solution.php?id=metalbuildingproduct
and
http://dev.steelogic.com/solution/metalbuildingproduct
being going to same pages but with the second url I was not getting query string var. so I wrote a PHP code as I knew on each page how many vars I need so it worked for me. although it may not be a good approach but it works
$URI = explode("/", trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
$numElems = count($URI);
if ($numElems <= 4) {
$arr = array();
$arr['id'] = $URI[2];
if (!empty($URI[3]))
$arr['id2'] = $URI[3];
}
if any body can help me with .htaccess I will appreciate.
How can I rewrite everything after the domain name into get if it is not already get?
For example : example.com/blah/blah.blah
will become example.com/?blah/blah.blah
basically all I want to do is add a ? after the first forward slash if there isnt one already.
Thanks!
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* /index.php?$0 [QSA]
But this solution has some issues, #anubhava's is better ;-)
Quite simply use variable %{REQUEST_URI} as a query parameter:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule . /index.php?%{REQUEST_URI} [L,QSA]
Another technique is to use the $_GLOBALS['PATH_INFO'] variable which will give you the rest of the path after the script name, so for:
http://example.com/somefile.php/james/fred/blogs.csv?something=value
PATH_INFO would be set to "/james/fred/blogs.csv" and you would still have the possibility of using GET/POST variables separately as modifiers. This can be quite useful, for example if you want to create a .csv file and have it appear to the remote browser client as if it were named "blogs.csv".
Okey, so this is my problem.
I want to use mod_rewrite to make nice looking urls for my site.
I want them all to have good looking url like www.mypage/tennis or www.mypage/soccer instead of www.mypage/?page=tennis and www.mypage/?page=soccer
And with the following rules i can achive this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
So now if I type in www.mypage/soccer my PHP script reads this url and does it's magic translating this to $_GET['page'] = soccer. All this works fine!
Problem is if I would type the URL www.mypage/soccer/ all of a sudden every linked css or image cannot be found by the website, since it now looking in the none existing folder /soccer/ off course.
How do I make a rewrite rule that transforms /soccer/ to /soccer or any other /blabla/ to /blabla
Hope my question is clear! Also if anyone have any good pages where I can learn more regular expressions i would be very happy!
Try this:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ ?page=$1 [L]
I think you should not use mod_rewrite for this, but rather fix your CSS and image paths.
Change the paths from relative to absolute,
meaning, the paths should begin with a /.
If you have this, no matter on which site your are, /images/myimage.png will always refer to www.mypage.com/images/myimage.png.
# For URIs with query string:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule (.*)/$ ?page=$1&%1 [L]
# All other
RewriteRule (.*)/$ ?page=$1 [L]
Hey all, how can I reduce this:
www.example.com/index.php?page=viewblog&category=awesome
down to this:
www.example.com/blog/awesome
The above lists all of the blog posts in that category, but I also want scope for adding the title of the post on the end of it as well, like this:
www.example.com/index.php?page=viewblog&category=awesome&post=why-trees-are-green
And this needs to shorten down to:
www.example.com/blog/awesome/why-trees-are-green
Any ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance :)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule blog/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=viewblog&category=$1 [L]
RewriteRule blog/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=viewblog&category=$1&post=$2 [L]
The condition makes sure the requested URL is not an actual file, which you want to serve (css, images, etc.)
Then, one rule per level, the first one will rewrite
http://yourserver.com/blog/whatever to
http://yourserver.com/index.php?page=viewblog&category=whatever
The second one will rewrite http://yourserver.com/blog/whatever/whenever to
http://yourserver.com/index.php?page=viewblog&category=whatever&post=whenever
If you need more levels, add more rules accordingly.
Something like this?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)/([^./]+)$ index.php?page=view$1&category=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^./]+)/([^./]+)/([^./]+)$ index.php?page=view$1&category=$2&post=$3 [L]
